About this tour
An eight-hour drive threading three of Campania's most compelling stops: the excavated Roman city of Pompeii, the clifftop town of Sorrento with its legendary views, and the photogenic village of Positano clinging to the Amalfi coast. Your private driver handles navigation and logistics while you set your own pace at each location. Departs from Naples or cruise ports; ideal as a day trip from Rome via the express train.
Highlights
- Wander Pompeii's ash-preserved streets and villas at your own tempo
- Sorrento's terraced gardens and narrow lanes open onto the Bay of Naples
- Positano's stacked pastel houses and pebble beaches
- Private air-conditioned vehicle with English-speaking driver
- All transport costs covered—tolls, fuel, parking included
- Flexible itinerary; no fixed group schedule or escort
What to expect
Your driver collects you from Naples station or port and heads south. At Pompeii, you're free to explore independently—hire a site guide on arrival if preferred, though entry tickets and ID checks are your responsibility. Expect roughly three hours there, depending on your pace. Sorrento offers breathing room: stroll the old town, duck into trattorias for local pasta or seafood, absorb the views. Positano is compact but steep; allow time to descend to the waterfront and back up. The return journey is unhurried, with drop-off timed for your onward transport.
Good to know
Bring your passport or ID—it's mandatory for Pompeii entry. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for variable weather. Book Pompeii tickets in advance with the office to avoid queues. The driver remains with the vehicle; hiring a Pompeii archaeologist on-site enhances the experience. Keep valuables secure during free time.
